Sutton Park Line
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sutton Park Line is a freight-only railway line running from Walsall to Castle Bromwich and Water Orton in the West Midlands, England. It is an important and strategic route, as it enables most freight trains to avoid congestion at Birmingham New Street station. It gets its name as it runs through Sutton Park at Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham.
Built by the Midland Railway, the line carried passenger services until 1964, with stations at (from the Water Orton direction)
- Penns (also Penns Goods Yard)
- Sutton Town
- Sutton Park
- Streetly
- Alridge (junction for either Brownshills or Walsall.)
